Abstract
This invention relates to a core-shell polymer which is useful for polyoxymethylene resin, a polyoxymethylene resin composition containing the core-shell polymer and a molded article made of the polyoxymethylene resin composition. The core-shell polymer comprises a rubbery polymer core and a glassy polymer shell and has substanially no detectable anion. This core-shell polymer makes the molded articles be improved on the impact strength, elongation at the weld line, etc. The molded articles is used as various products (such as gears, reels, etc.).
Claims6
A polyoxymethylene resin composition which comprises:
- (A) a core-shell polymer comprising (1) a rubbery polymer core consisting essentially of (a) a conjugated diene, (b) a C.sub.2-8 alkyl acrylate, (c) a mixture of C.sub.2-8 alkyl acrylates, (d) a mixture of a conjugated diene and a C.sub.2-8 alkyl acrylate or (e) a mixture of (a) or (b) and at least one monomer copolymerizable therewith selected from the group consisting of an aromatic vinyl monomer, an aromatic vinylidene monomer, a vinyl cyanide, a vinylidene cyanide and an alkyl methacrylate and (2) a glassy polymer shell which is formed from methyl methacrylate or a mixture of methyl methacrylate and at least one monomer copolymerizable therewith selected from the group consisting of an alkyl acrylate, an alkyl methacrylate, an aromatic vinyl monomer, an aromatic vinylidene monomer, a vinyl cyanide and a vinylidene cyanide, the transition temperature of the glassy polymer being not less than 60.degree. C. and the core-shell polymer having substantially no detectable anion, and
- (B) a polyoxymethylene resin.
